Issue Position

War happens when there is a failure of leadership. A decade of costly wars has taught us that we must invest more in diplomacy with our friends and enemies alike. As a veteran of the first Gulf War and a frequent traveler abroad, I understand the cost of war and have come to better understand our great nation in an international context. I will work to make America the leader in diplomacy and insist that our allies remain strongly united against extremist states.
